Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever (45:2) Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty (45:3) And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things (45:4) Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee (45:5) Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre (45:6) Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows (45:7) All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad (45:8) Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir (45:9) Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house (45:10) So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him (45:11) And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour (45:12) The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold (45:13) She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee (45:14) With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace (45:15) Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth (45:16) I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever
(45:17)
